Black CSL in or around Derbyshire
 

Hi All

Strange request but is there any members who have a black CSL in or around the surrounding area of derbyshire?

I had the front painted (wings, bonnet, bumper), where the door meets the wing i think there is a clear difference in colour and wanted to match it against another CSL.

Im seeing the bodyshop guy tomorrow to discuss it. I think hes not checked the paint code and simply used the paint he was using to paint a 5 series touring (~1999 ish) :bigcry:

I have a black CSL in Bucks if you get really stuck..

Thanks Dan, i suppose thats the problem when you have a rarer colour (oh and faster :) )

Absolutely! Was quite disappointed when I saw one on the road at the weekend!

shocking! number 1 the colour looks wrong and 2 you should never paint to the edge of a panel it should be faded out 2 panels butting up will always look wrong get your money back and go elsewhere mate

Also a fair point. You might actually be interested to see my car as it has just had the whole front end re-sprayed and blended into the doors, IMHO they have done a fantastic job if you want to compare and take some pics you are more than welcome, but I'm not on your doorstep!

If you could take a photo similar to that and post it up i would be very grateful mate :)

Car is at the dealer having starter motor replaced at the mo, should have it back later. In the meantime, not sure if these help, if you want me to email hi res versions and/or different angles later let me know.

Cheers mate

If you could post some of the drivers side near the gills as per my photo that would be great :)

The guy who has done this i have used for the past 6 years for various motors and this is the first time its gone wrong.

Also a high res of the flake
